[QUOTE="AndonD454, post: 1093695, member: 560628"] well the new comp VR is rated at 500 rms. sealed it takes it no problem.. ported 500 is probably about the most you want to send it.. 600 probably wouldnt be too bad (ported box = less power handling.. so you could probably give it 750 sealed and 600 ported) thats all fine.. but then bigger box, regardless of wheteher its sealed or ported also = less porwe handling.. so yeah its to kicker spec.. and itll still handle the 500 rms its rated for in that box, but i doubt itll take 300 more watts. i tried to make this simple but it ended up not working hah.. basically.. power handling decreases with size of box and it being ported. i think 800 would be pushing it sealed as it is.. i think 800 might be too much for a large ported box. so set the gains on your amp low.. and try to send it more like 5-600 watts. youll get all you can out of the sub, dont worry. those extra few hundred watts arent worth the danger of blowing it. and these re all estimates based on my experience with the 03 VR.. the 05s take power a little better.. but dont get too cocky with your amp.
